This was clicked in my April'13 trip to TATR.
I was almost exit time.. we were at Telia lake and it was getting dark.. one of the Telia cubs was roaming around the lake... there was a herd of deers around 100 mtrs from the cub .. cub made all kind of stalking moves which its parents have taught her.. gets very close to the deers lies low to the ground waiting for the prey to get closer.. Deers without realizing tiger was around they walk closer to her.. and we were all eagerly waiting for some action. The action has unfolded almost 10 deers comfortably cross and the 11th one realizes the presence of tiger and starts making calls and all deers run in all directions.. Tiger was startled by sudden action by deers and runs in a different direction as if to protect itself..
This kind of drama has happened almost all the three days we were there..
This ploy will work for the Cub when it becomes a independent hunter.. these deers will continue to take the cub easy and get closer and this cub after growing up will see food getting delivered to her within close proximity..
